The Class of 1970 celebrated its 55th reunion on October 4. An enthusiastic group of alumni shared memories of their days at ’Berg along with their activities now that they are mostly retired: Jack and Diane (Schmidt) Ladley, Bill and Pam (Hodge) Garver, Jim and Liz (Purcell) Powers, Glenn Kratzer, Ned Rahn, Jeff Gilbert, Barry Burkhart, Don Hayn, Cheryl Desmond, Peggy Bolz Shaffer, John Ondov, Larry Fox, and Bob Teeter. The group also enjoyed the company of six spouses. Jeff, Ned, and Larry are still practicing law in some capacity. Liz and Jim live a block from campus. All who attended had interesting retiree pursuits: painting on canvas, skiing, playing the piano, golfing, yoga, enjoying their grandchildren, travelling, playing pickleball and tennis, and volunteering their time to help others. The group decided to plan a 60th reunion for 2030.
